"Gehn! Where are you?" A man said
in rapid Rivenese. He was walking around a circular room built on a desolate
rock in oily water that looked unsafe to drink.
In here! In this book! Another man thought. He
could speak Rivenese, but knew the other man, Cho, wouldn't have been able to
hear him.
Gehn was trapped in a 'One-man Trap Book.' An
example of a One-man Trap book is if one man or woman linked into the Trap Book
the other man inside the trap book would be free.
Gehn grew up in a civilization with a special
type of 'Power.' They could create worlds with just ink and paper. They were
called the D'ni. Then they'd put their hands on a 'window' and then they would
disappear into thin air.
Cho spotted a book that looked like a book
back to D'ni.
"My
Master must be in there!" Realizing how smart he was he smiled, put his hand on
the 'window', (We will now put this as a 'panel') and disappeared. There was a
sound followed by a laugh.
"FREE!!! TEN YEARS OF PRISON AND I'M FREE!!!"
Gehn laughed again, this time colder than before, and threw the Trap Book out
the window (With an excellent smash of the window) and the book plummeted down
toward the oily-like water. At once hot air from the outside blew into the room
followed by dust.
"My
goggles! WHERE ARE THE DAMNED GOGGLES!!!!?????" He found them lying down on the
floor near the door. He tried to grab them but the floor started cracking.
Snaps filled the room. Gehn tried to look not afraid, but inside he was really
scared. He looked out the window. The skies turned black and wisps of fire came
down from the sky. Every thing was falling into nothingness.
Wait. Nothingness? Nothing can fall into
Nothingness.
The floor started to shake and crack more and
the circular room (included with a cage in the center) split. The side Gehn was
on started to fall. It half rolled half tumbled down into the blackness. No
scream was heard. Gehn had disappeared.
" Safe!!!" Gehn said as he opened a spinning
dome. "Now I can s… s… s…see-" Gehn was going to say 'I can see how my
'slaves' are doing" had he known that here, Riven, was falling apart. He walked
on the upper level of the Jungle and took an elevator down to the lowest level.
He noticed that the tram was already there so he hopped on (with his eyes
closed as he smiled to himself). He spun the tram around and pushed the lever
causing him to enter Plateau Island and leave Jungle Island. He then noticed
that the 'Nothingness' was sucking everything rapidly and coming towards him.
Gehn, however knew that the tram could out run the Nothingness (we'll refer
this as the Star Fissure okay?).
The
wires snapped and the tram fell into the fissure. Gehn tried to break open the
glass in front of him, but remembered that it was very dangerous and should
never do that. He did it anyway and fell out of the tram. Everything split
apart except for him. He thought the Fissure only broke things like rocks and
trams and daggers instead of humans like Gehn and… He stopped right there
because he didn't know anybody else. Except for his son, Atrus, and his wife,
Catherine, whom he DIDN'T want to talk about at all. His mission in life? To
kill Atrus. He fell through trying not to scream.
Now let me explain about the Fissure. As you
go in it time goes by very fast. An example would be ten minutes at home
equals ten years in the Fissure. Twenty minutes would be twenty years. You got
it? Good? On to the rest of the story!!
Anyway, while the narrator was talking about
the Fissure Gehn was falling while (believe it) screaming. He knew it was not
like him, but he knew he was scared out of his wits. He then all of a sudden
landed on a cold hard floor. He was standing in a greenhouse filled with trees
and plants. It was circular with two doors, one across from him and another to
the right of him. The door ahead of him closed and then heard an
all-too-familiar voice say, "RELEESHAHN!!!! NOOO!!!" and another voice saying
to try and put out the fire. Gehn smiled. It was his chance to kill Atrus and
Catherine.
CHAPTER
TWO WILL BE UP SOON!
NOTE:
Plateau Island and Jungle Island are the names I call the islands. Some people
might call them Village Island and East Path Island. ;)

THESE NOTICES EVER STOP?: Sorry if everything seems all rushed. I'm just
excited I'm going to Houston tomorrow!
